SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Registration of clinical nurse specialists. Provides that the Board of Nursing may register an applicant as a clinical nurse specialist if such applicant is an advanced practice registered nurse who (i) holds a valid license to practice professional nursing and (ii) has successfully completed a graduate-level clinical nurse specialist program within a regionally accredited college or university that meets all educational qualifications and standards established by national certification guidelines and holds a national clinical nurse specialist certification that prepares the professional nurse to deliver advanced nursing services. The bill eliminates the duty of the Board of Nursing to approve programs that entitle professional nurses to be registered as clinical nurse specialists and to prescribe minimum standards for such programs.
